Academics in Environmental Studies, Stewardship or Science

As part of our commitment to long term environmental capacity building, through the Matawa Water Futures Project, Matawa First Nations Management will be working with Laurier, Lakehead and Laurentian Universities on advancing academic learning opportunities for Matawa members. It is our hope that this will lead to new types of environmental programming that is more responsive to community member needs and constraints. As part of this initiative there may be some immediate undergraduate and graduate learning opportunities where individuals meet specific academic AND project eligibility. Through agreements between universities and the individuals’ current employer it is our hope that students can work on projects related to their studies, while also advancing their academic pursuits.
